Via LA Times:

“DeRozan, who starred at Compton High and USC, has interest in returning home to play for the Lakers, even if it is for less than the $27.7 million he earned last season in San Antonio, according to people not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

The Lakers definitely need to overhaul their roster if they want to continue to compete. At this point as long as they have a healthy LeBron and AD, they’ll be able to compete as long as they have good pieces in place around them.

DeRozan averaged 21.6 points, 6.9 assists last season with the Spurs.

Lowry averaged 17.2 points, 7.3 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game. They’re not exactly in their primes, but they’re very solid players.
